October was all about the pumpkins. Thanks to everyone who entered our annual pumpkin coloring contest. Once again, we had some very colorful and creative entries. In fact, 9-year-old Sivan\u2019s entry gave us all a chuckle.<\/p>\n

Be sure to take a look at some of the souvenir postcards and keepsakes from the 1940s. In fact, thanks to this display, we know what wax vestas are.<\/p>\n
